Catalysis of Culture
What does it look like when a society buds anew? Do the gears of advancement sweep separation into civilization or is it more subtle- like nuanced societal values building culture and ideals? Is it both, or neither whatsoever? Write about some new civilization, society, or cultural identity and the nature of its birth and growth. Fantasy, Dystopia, Utopia, or the world behind the screen: anything goes. Entries can be of any format. Happy daydreaming!

Creeper Seville

I looked outside the window

It was a Creeper Seville

Very slowly, a man appeared

He rolled down the window seal

He looked around , He looked some more

He kept looking, looking all around

No telling what he was looking at

So, I went outside to look myself

Well he looked with squinted eyes

No telling what he was seeing

Then I got the right look from his eyes

That told me, I’d better be fleeing

So, I took off around the block

The Creeper Seville was gone

Just as I slowed down

From straight up the road

I saw it creeping , what I saw ...

It was the Creeper Seville

I knew I had to take off

A toe into the dash

I stole into a run

It was the fastest I’ve ever run my ass

I ran it hard and heavy

I walked a little to catch my breath

I smelled smoke

I heard something popping off

Right there at the corner

In a bang out , broken down

What I was looking at ?

It was the Creeper Seville, it’s self

The man inside appeared again

He rolled down the window seal

He looked around

He looked at me

“ Hey Man, can I get some help?”

Wake into a deep red smoke

A hole bores in through your head

Eyes pour outwards in

With funnels deep

Until eyelashes touch the rim

Blackness tilts into Your throat

An absence plunges from beneath

Feel it like the last deluge pull

Inside out until your teeth

What will find you then

Will be nothing you can hold

Touch it not

As you unravel

Center drawn

Into unfold

Reach as you remember

Some sorted sordid last remark

Enter what you mistook for rivalry

Past the turning lock and start

One more combination squared

Your face counts what is lost

None of the magic of this world

Can slow the tick tick of the clock

Wonderstruck

Shock past awe

Contrive a meaning

Feel a sense

...

Those ties that bind you

I chose to end the frenzy

For , my focus had become

Much too much

Too much

What I fancied

Became invisible

Intangible to my touch

What was adored

Headed for a looming drop

I teetered too far into imagination

To hold it up

I thought...

“Perhaps a fall

Onto both ends

Will buoy this new form

Back into my natural bends”

I gazed a while at the mirror

Waiting for magic to take place

Lost in the breath

Upon the glass

I could not see past

All the fog space

I must have drifted into sleep

Because in a dream

Came a song . . .

I don't remember any music

Only , an Inclining melody

The words sang ...

“Don't wait so long"

Chain Mail

Way by way

How the chain is laid

Link into a hook

Backwards eyelet look

Signature shape

Identifier inlaid

Metal lanyard

Clasp and braid

Simple onward

Down the line

More complex

Than string or twine

Hold the hover

Tight closure

Carry or connect

Anchor

Heavy wager

Gauge the ring

To evolve the thread

She’s Not Dull

I went a bit psycho active

For a minute , maybe two

Over you...

Blame it on the grey that day,

Not on the rain;

although it may have been

A second factor

I said,

" If this is my reaction ,

Then it better be all i am reacting to."

Then , your voice came at me

through glass windows of thought

Shattering all my friendly notions

Shards held splinters of the dumb shit

I picked pricks out of my hands

With every lament

Til they were dirt

I pulled it all together

Smoked a laugh in ribaldry

Said my fucks and quotes

I let the madness ramble on

I ran hooting and hollering

"Rampage!"

Chasing booze on a Tuesday night

I ate some damn food

I even had ice cream dessert

Im better now. :)

It wasn't really about you, anyhow.

The “IN” Crowd

Christian took it personally

That his girl had other guys 

He still cannot admit

That she never was his prize

She, her name was Nancy

She never planned to turn his head

She was the type of a girl 

Always messing with other boys instead

Seymour was relationship skeptical

He saw more in every single situation

He spent his time with Nancy

Cassandra, Olivia, Lydia , sometimes Wren

Wren was not the type

To be done in by other girls

Seymour put and end to seeing her

When she started whining about her rules

Lydia was dating Rex 

Rex was into other things

He never would answer the phone

When Lydia would ring 

Cassandra went by Cassie

Her maiden name was Trot

She liked girls better

But, married Jimmy

She told him the news

Only , after they tied the knot

Olivia was the stranger

She liked Jimmy too

But Jimmy was a mamas boy

So , Cheating on his wife just wasn't cool

Olivia took the chance 

With Cassie and Lydia 

They went 3 on 3

3 separate ways 

And caught Chlamydia 

Nancy found out about it first

It took about 3 days 

Lydia caught it the worst 

Olyvia got framed 

Jim , he was the last to know

Cassie was finally led to confession

Rex , however , first caught on

When  Nancy gave him the infection

How did Nancy get the clap

Well Christian had a secret

He messed around with Lydia downtown

Although , you never would believe it

No one talked about it 

Cuz nobody wanted to spill the beans

Eventually all was cleared up

Too sad there is no vaccine

EmergencE

The last hour brought her rapture.

She was not one who would disdain

the equivocal end.

As her eyesight grew light strewn , her body passed from life of electrical service into ethereal resemblance . Her eternal began to spin into dual allocated motion . Forward , luminescent, her loose form , by the exchange of chirality, became unraveled snake. Cycle complete.

What memoirs she contained joined her final connection as the bend in the knot of eternal composition . Her way became all ways , her value scattered , and her forever , reared back into the non discriminating folds of the latticework frames.

A young woman takes to running, gasping in a galloping breath , she hits the ground . Heat burns through every part of her core .

The fire breaks her binds from heavenly motion and she collapses towards the grass of the earth. Electrical response catches an arc felt in her torso as she straightens upright. She lets out a mortal cry of hysterias release.

She had begun again.

She slowed her self and allowed the message from the earth to enter her motion. She allowed for the reverberant counterbalance to speak for the correction of a series of scrambled thoughts from her own.

She recognized herself as a whole immediately . She felt as if

she had run for many echelon from the force that was now raging war on exhaustion and doubt. It had all at once , taken her out of her deepest pain. She recognized the relief as her second rematerializing .

The first time, she had believed , taunted by the staff holding lines containing music , that she had passed on . Eternal had broken into fragments and were absorbed by fluid speed . The ushering of sound worked all broken realms into a state of coldness that came with isolation. A cold that ran until static pain seared her eyes , allowing for the awakening.

When she opened her vision to sight, the valley floor of the humming abyss was falling like the sky . She had felt it crushing her from a distance . The impression called to fear and named the abyss her rival . That perception driving allowed the doom eminently to torture her. Viscious thwarts from her sensory motor moments contorted a viscose reality encapsulating her outer body until body became transparent.

No light shone from the shadowless pit, nor reflected off from it. Not a soul deemed a stop near , and she was solitary . Whistles of the crevasse warped the lines inside of non ending time , wrapping loops into recognized peaks and rushing losses. Nothingness, began to elude to faces and voices . Taunting and withholding position from her , the perceived abandoned her inside of raw , unfiltered responses. She seethed into mental illusion . Through the deepest sinks of irrational fits, her body contorted and seized . Relation became hurtful to who she was inside of safety . Her will from pride , chose to not to abide . From the origination of her tearing fibers a light was emitted.

She touched her face ...

She grew comforted and protected as she focused on her fingernails , the smooth of her skin. The sound of her own name escaped her silence. From memory, she looked into her own eyes.

She awoke on the grass . Inside of the time frame set one count before her comparison began between the second embodiment and recognition of the first . In time , with memory , she counted in on three, the next frame , she understood .

A clear vision of a distinct path forced a fierce knowledge of her own morphogenesis into next her rotation between the two states of universe. She blinked twice, escalated elastically from pressure point heights , into deep modes of circulation , contracted . With her enigmatic magnitude of all states in motion , she traced both realms , centered the connection, and found herself among the stars.

Write a micro-poem conveying an important opinion or view in as few words as possible.
The criteria is only that a micro-poem is written showing as much meaning as possible from the writer on a specific topic (preferably) labeled at the end of the piece. The idea is to share strong, complex feelings in few sentences. (Not sure how many will see this, but for those who enter, thanks!)

Sunglasses/OF/BlackLace

I wear sunglasses 

Of black lace

The daytime is 

Much too bright today

Gauge my own eyeballs out

To clear my head , a bit

To shock the crowd , a bit

Fuck eyes

I need the extra space

Once it's quiet

I won't want to look around

Focusing on sensory ways

Excitement has a glitter taste

Glitter tastes even better

As blood runs down my face

I wear the carnage , like it's 

BEAUTIFUL.

I wear it well

What can I say

I have good taste.
